This includes the formation of a 250sqm basement underneath the existing building (R 15 million).

We have completed a 6000 sq metre refurbishment, including a new dry-walling fitout for Ascension Properties at their Spectrum building in Bellville. The same was done in Castle street (2500 sq.) as well as three floors of Atterbury house. We have recently also completed a further two floors at 14 Long Street, and our work at Grand Central Shopping Centre.

We have formed an alliance with our joint venture partners, Group 5, and have completed the construction of the City Lodge at the Grandwest Casino site (R 21 million), the Century City Holiday Inn (R 20 million) and the Cape Tech student residences in Observatory (R 54 million), as well the first phase of the Claremont Library development (R35 million).
